13:21 Was idly listening from my office desk in my sign shop as an RC Newbie looking to outfit my FMS Fox 3000. Your first couple of lines was spot on! People in most help videos are speaking english but the nature of the craft has so many abbreviations, all a newbie can hope for is knowledge obtained by osmosis. FPV, ELRS, BNF, PWM, FJB, the list is endless. When I discovered people fly long range on auto pilot and use FPV I was thrilled. My heart started pounding as I was alerted to the reality that me, a professional power Mac user can join in the fun without using a windows platform, which is harder to me than flying without AS3X and Safe. ExpressLRS-Configurator-1.5.5.dmg had me from hello! Currently, I'm all Spektrum but I will be buying all my gear through your links because your video made my day!

Excellent job presenting ELRS and its idiosyncrasies. Unfortunately, you've definitely talked me out of ELRS. Last flown rc planes 15yrs ago. Will start flying again as soon as I can print my Pitts. I think I'll start with Flysky IA6X then move on from there. Thanks again.

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

You're welcome. It's definitely not for everyone and there are simpler options to be sure. What I like so much about ELRS is I can use it in everything: CRSF talks to flight controllers so Betaflight on quads, iNav on FPV fixed wing. It talks to the FBL I like to use so I can use it on helis. And it has PWM output options with telemetry, so I can use it on fixed wing for LOS. On top of that the receivers are fairly cheap.

@Ard1400 Год назад

Great video! Thanks a lot. I hear from others that when you use 1 watt or higher power you should always use an external power supply. Is that right?

@RCVideoReviews Год назад

I cannot validate the question. Two points: 1) We're talking about radiated power, not electrical power. I don't believe it's a 1:1 correlation between radiated power and electrical power, but if it were 1:1 then: 2) 1000 milliwatts = 1 watt. W/V=A. So 1w/5v= 0.2a or WORSE: 2000milliwatts = 2 watts. 2w/5v = 0.4a I seriously doubt the pins in the JR bay would struggle *at all* with .4a. And I know the batteries in the Tx should be able to easily handle an incremental half amp. So personally--I doubt an external pack would be required. Finally, Radiomaster did not stipulate in their instructions that an external pack is necessary for 1w of transmit power.

Not out of the box and I don't show it because I don't want to be the one responsible for telling everybody how to violate part 15 rules. So it's not a correction. The device allows it, but the manufacturer correctly set it to 1w to comply with the law.

@FAB1150 2 месяца назад

@@RCVideoReviewsoh I completely agree on you not showing how to circumvent the law, but it's a selling feature even if they never explicitly say it to not get their product banned. In their website they only say "default 100mW" under RF power output in the product specs of all three for the same reason, lol If it was intentional though I also agree it's not a correction

@RCVideoReviews 2 месяца назад

I've been flying LOS with ELRS for a while now and it's pretty rare to see Tpwr in the logs > 10mw. Every now and then a 50mw burst. 2w is just over the top and really not necessary unless you're doing some seriously long range and then you're going to have trackers, and some serious knowledge on video setups. So I figure at that point, you already know the hack. YT is a great teacher. Sometimes it's just better to leave certain things unsaid.

@Drone_Addict_ 7 месяцев назад

K my issue is that I just got the radio master boxer with built in Express ELRS, Crossfire, 4&1. Now i did the whole process on downloading the black sheep TBS Configuration. But for some reason, my TBS agent is not working on my controller. It’s saying something like error value. I’ve copied the TBS agent files to my USB on my radio, I followed the instructions to the T on Joshua’s (from Roto Riot), RU-vid video on how to download the files. I didn’t need a module for this saying that my radio has it built in already. So I don’t know how to get the TBS agent to stop showing a error value. Any advice or link video that shows on how to get this back to working. Also, if I were to do a master reset on my radio, would it reappear as how I first got my radio?

@Inertia888 11 месяцев назад

For anyone shopping for a Ranger module, the biggest one, with the aluminum casing, will shed heat more quickly than the smaller version, that has a plastic casing. Just something to take note of.

@RCVideoReviews 11 месяцев назад

I was flying all weekend in Florida. It was 95 degrees outside yesterday. Telemetry on the micro showed RQLY about 95% or higher, TPWR at 25mw 99% of the time with one or two spikes to 50mw. So I had superb LOS radio performance throughout the weekend with a legitimate heat test on the micro. That said, my TPWR was low the whole time. If your use case mandates a higher TPWR, the aluminum case might make sense.

@Inertia888 11 месяцев назад

@@RCVideoReviews thank you so much for all these stats, I will put them in my folder, until I have a better idea on the full range and performance of these modules.

I have not yet put my drone in the air, since I received the module.

Just an update to the thread... (not adding much to what RCVideoReviews already said, just getting back to my original comment) >The Power Output of the RC-Link, that is needed when flying with a Video RX/TX will never be anywhere near what is needed for the Video Link. I Don't fly long-range, so I can't speak to that, but at ELRS-150mW, the RC-Link is way, way, more powerful than my DJI-V2-1200mW. I can' not find a use for the ELRS 2-Watt Power Output, when I am using a Video Link. >If you need the full 2-Watts ELRS RC-Link, then you probably already know a lot more about radio than I do.

Tengo varias preguntas: 1- Cuando estás con el tema de actualizar el módulo ELRS, primero dices que lo conectas a una fuente de energía y luego dices que lo conectas a la computadora, básicamente pensé que la fuente de energía era la computadora desde un inicio y si me equivoco por favor 🙏 corrígeme. Solo pretendo actualizar por UART pero el conocimiento es poder y siempre hay que saber el potencial de cada equipo que esté en nuestras manos para sacar el máximo rendimiento posible. 2- El fichero o archivo LUA que colocas en la radio, de dónde se descarga? 3- Pretendo utilizar los nuevos receptores ELRS/PWM de Radiomaster y lógicamente no es igual que ese receptor que actualizaste por lo que me gustaría saber como hacerlo por UART. Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺 Excelente trabajo 👌 y gracias por tú tiempo. Sigue asi 💪

I am a subscribed. If i do not do fpv, and only flying watching my small foam planes at the local park or a club , do i need ELRS? what do i lose for not using ELRS in my case? tks

@RCVideoReviews 3 месяца назад

I use ELRS in all of my LOS models. Cost effective, locked on RF, binding phrases, bi-directional CRSF, onboard vbat, plenty of form factors, packet rates to 166hz for 16ch, 333hz for 8ch, opensource development by hobbyists who know what they're doing. To me, this question needs to be flipped: Why on earth would you use anything but ELRS?

The question on long range should be more about penetration which is a whole other ball game. There is so much that can be talked about on penetration…

@RCVideoReviews 9 месяцев назад

The question on long range should be about video. Even at low power levels, ERLS is going to severely outfly most video tech without deploying some fairly advanced capabilities (antennas and trackers). When I flew long range, I kept RFLOS in mind so the farther I went, the higher I flew and that does not require penetration. I never saw a 3000ft tree, but I have seen a 3000ft mountain. Anything beyond 3 miles is going to quickly become much more of an issue about video than control link if using ELRS.

@KMProtectionServices 9 месяцев назад

@@RCVideoReviews I have seen many lose radio link in the mountains before video. What you say is true but sometimes penetration on video vs transmitter work different. I think it can be very close in penetration situation which may cause the following: low video reception, and lost transmitter causing drone to drop usually making reception worse if falling further behind interference and then losing video completely. It may all happen so quick that you just see your drone drop... Hard to tell without actual penetration testing...

@RCVideoReviews 9 месяцев назад

I never flew long range in a way that would compromise my control link. Don't even comprehend the notion and what you're describing is probably why the government limits this activity. In my experience flying long range, video was always the first to go. 100%.

@KMProtectionServices 9 месяцев назад

@@RCVideoReviews Government does as they do... more rules and regulations and they never do anything good.... People will still do dumb stuff as they always have. There is a lot that can go wrong but under usual conditions video should go first. I just saw a video yesterday where the TBS crossfire failsafe and crashed 150 yards LOS away from pilot and the video was fine. Clearly something else going wrong...

Did you turn the model on in model settings? Did you set a baud rate in system settings? ELRS works. If you're having issues, it's either hardware (possible) or configuration related (probable). Get on discord and we'll help you there. Link is in the description of every video I post.

I like the Matek CRSF-PWM-C. It's 10 channels, but has voltage and current. If you can get by with just voltage, the CRSF-PWM-6 is pretty nice.
